An integral part of the Shogun Audio family, GEST once again showcase their heavy, techy, and rolling drum and bass sound with their second EP on the label: https://GEST.lnk.to/TheNexusSD

This latest body of work, entitled 'The Nexus' EP, connects all the fragments of their idiosyncratic, high-octane sound, acting as a captivating four-track frenzy that draws influence from early Detroit techno and D&B royalty alike.

Previously known as Gerra & Stone, the pair have risen rapidly in recent years with a finely polished sound that is truly unique to them. GEST lay out the blueprints of what they're all about with the opening sounds of 'Nexus', with a clear emphasis on the duos underground, dancefloor-oriented sound intertwined with an abundance of techno-inspired synth work throughout.

As we delve into the EP, 'Concentrate' adds yet another master-crafted roller to their collection of groove-centric tracks, whilst 'Stayed On My Mind' provides a melodious infusion of deep subs, beguiling vocal loops, and pronounced percussive elements to the EP.

Last, but by no means least, 'Reverence' sees GEST draw heavy influence from one of their heroes in the form of the late and great Marcus Intalex. Defined by crisp, rolling drums, ambient synth work, and an underlying aura of luxuriant atmosphere, the melodic, almost soothing melody intertwined with ‘Reverence’ clearly draws from the inspiration of Marcus Intalex’s legendary sound.

"This release represents a development of our sounds and some new directions from previous singles we have released in the short time the GEST project has been active. The trademark sound is the framework but it been presented in a different light."

Deep Notion - 'Come Align'
https://RAM.lnk.to/ComeAlign-FadedPR
___

New Zealand is a hot bed for drum & bass, something which it has shown time and time again, especially over the subsequent two years. Helping to lead the charge for its scene are artists like Deep Notion, a producer who’s now stepping up to the plate for a forthcoming release on the 10-year strong imprint, ProgRAM, illustrating the labels strength as it continues to put out high quality singles from launch.

Exuding the high-octane energy and intensity he’s famed for, Come Align introduces the release with an epic intro and slamming first breakdown. On its flip, ‘Faded’ with CSM at the helm, alongside its pounding kick drums, provides another cut-throat selection. So once again, it’s time to get with the ProgRAM… This time turning up the throttle for their next output.

Deep Notion - Come Align

**NOTE - We are shipping vinyl copies out from our store 3 weeks ahead of the general release date, postage starts on 2nd March exclusively from us directly)**

Following the hugely successful debut of our ‘Dispatch Dubplate’ label, with the first two vinyl releases selling out across all stores, we're proud to welcome #3 in the series, led predominantly by label favourite DLR. Much like the previous Dubplates, each vinyl will showcase a thicker set 180 grams in weight, hand numbered (1 – 300), hand-stamped, signed, with an added label sticker pack with all 300; never to be re-pressed.

Setting off the release, we're pleased to release our most in-demand dub from the past year; the mighty Break & DLR rework everyone has waited for – “Murmur VIP”. With the original first appearing in 2012 on Octane & DLR's “Method In The Madness” album, the Break & DLR VIP has revitalized the initial buzz of an already popular track, in spectacular fashion. Causing havoc on dancefloors worldwide, it has already seen heavy rotational support by Friction on his BBC Radio 1 show (with 6 plays on the show in total to date).

In addition, we present a new, original track from DLR; the immaculately detailed “Regeneration”. This drops us right back to the late 90s with a cosmic vibe that pays homage to the Virus / Konflict era, brought right up to date. Although delivered in a superbly tight, modern construct, it never loses its old school essence and authenticity. This release features two versions of the track, the “Generated Mix” is exclusive to the vinyl format, whilst the gnarly “Metamorphosis Mix” also features as a digital only bonus, both offering a very different take on a track that (in its original form) was never planned or set to surface, so we felt it fitting for this to appear on the Dispatch Dubplate label.

Completing the Dubplate comes the second re-work of the release, as “Tugboat” receives the remix treatment, with “The Moneyshot VIP” appearing on both vinyl and digital formats. A new take on DLR’s solo Dispatch single from 2013, the VIP is nothing short of a huge re-work and a complete re-invention of the original, taking a much more stepping dance floor approach from start to finish.

This release features a vinyl only track “Regeneration (Generated Mix)”. This will not be available in digital format at all. Vinyl buyers will be able to download all the other tracks, however this dubplate exclusive mix will never be available in any other format.

Each vinyl purchase will receive free 320kbps mp3 & wav files of all the available digital tracks. These will only become available to download on the Friday before general release and no sooner – this is the 20th of March as general release date is the 23rd March.

Dispatch dubplate product spec:
• 180g vinyl (thicker / heavier set than usual)
• Full inner label & additional bonus sticker pack included
• Kraft card outside sleeve (which will be 'stamped' on with a Dispatch Recordings label black ink stamp)
• Additional thin floppy plastic outer protection sleeve
• Signed by artists
• Numbered ___/300
• No re-press (ever!)

My entry for the BSA Sample Challenge 005

For September, we sampled "Crazy 4 You" by Lassiter

I tried to get a shot of my 90s neon screen, and my cat insisted on being in the shot, as always.

I was going for an "abstract 90s disposable cup" theme with the artwork, and I think I succeeded! 😎

Everyone loves a banging remix, and here at Lifestyle we’re no different. Historically one of the most fun & exciting projects to put together, we’re back with the third edition of our Lifestyle Remixed series!

It’s a pretty simple recipe: we take bangers, give them to some sick producers, who turn them into further bangers; it’s sick, and the results are always fantastic. Previous editions have seen some god-tier combinations: Zero T & Revaux, Ill Truth & Lockjaw, and Signal & Vorso, to name but a few.

For this edition, we’ve plumbed our catalogue for a mixture of deep cuts and stand-out bangers, and got some of our favourite producers to break them into bits and build them back up again. The tracklist speaks for itself, but it’s got to be heard to be believed! We’ve got Wingz remixing Black Barrel, Revaux taking on dutch newcomer DOt., the mighty Black Barrel reworking the breakout banger ‘Africa’, the boy wonder himself remixing Nami’s iconic ‘Inside ft 'Lo’, Fre4knc taking on an Objectiv banger, as well as Danger’s competition-winning remix of ‘Vermin’. Bossman Animus twists up Revaux & Charli Brix’s ‘Colours’, one of our biggest tunes from 2018 getting a seriously brucked out edit, and Belgian badboys Glÿph take Nami’s ’Shake The Universe’ to truly galactic planes, wicked.

As well as all that, to celebrate ten years as a label, we’ve also reached all the way back to LFS020, and got Synth Ethics & Was A Be to team up, reworking Viscera by Ed:it - updating the banger 7.5 years after it’s initial release! Crafting it into a big, stinky stepper, beautiful stuff.

You can probably imagine the program; it’s all kept pretty dark & dangerous this time round, complex bass design leaks out all over the shop, and there’s not much relenting from start to finish, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Some of these have been doing the rounds a bit, causing absolute carnage whenever we play them out, some of them are brand spanking new, but we think you’ll agree they’re all hurters. It’s been an absolute joy to put together this release, so we hope you like hearing it as much as we’ve liked making it!

More combos than a Mortal Kombat fight, get it down ya!
